Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Activists Protest in Front of Henry Kissinger’s Memorial Service

HeadlineJan 26, 2024

Here in New York, a memorial service for national security adviser and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was met with protests Thursday. Activists chanted “Burn, Henry, Burn,” as they remembered the 4 million people Kissinger’s actions have killed across the globe.

Rosa: “We mourn the millions he killed. We mourn those in Cambodia, in Vietnam, in Laos, in Bangladesh, in East Timor, in Chile, in Argentina, in Cyprus, in Iraq, in Palestine and in Angola. As we mourn the dead, we also honor those who fight to live. The litany of resistance groups that have stood up to Kissinger’s imperialism outlive Henry Kissinger.”

Activists held up signs that said “Henry Kissinger, war criminal.”
